Sensor Torch Height Control

Hypertherm’s Sensor™ plasma torch height control (PHC) is an easy-to-use, highly reliable voltage-sensing height control for conventional plasma piercing and cutting applications. Requiring no operator input while cutting, the controller offers separate settings for both pierce and cut heights to automatically position the torch.The Sensor PHC is compatible with any computer numeric control (CNC) and a broad range of plasma systems, and is easy to install on new or existing conventional plasma cutting tables. The Sensor PHC delivers improved performance at a significantly lower cost than other height control solutions. Characteristics: With Sensor THC, performance advantages are achievable without operator input, eliminating the need for extensive training and allowing you to get the best performance across any shift with any operator at any location. The operational logic is located inside the CNC providing one simple location for the complete job setup. Use of Hypertherm’s embedded process expertise through built in cut charts or part program process codes. Sensor THC supports the use of custom lifters for custom performance and allowing support for unique applications such as plasma bevel, tube and pipe and waterjet. Remote Diagnostics via the internet through the Remote Help on the CNC. Enables SureCut Technology features such as TrueHole® , TrueBevel™ and Rapid Part™. Built in user-programmable process control parameters for initial height sense, plasma arc volts, torch height Disable, automatic kerf crossing detection, skip IHS, and IHS offset. Arc voltage range 50-300 VDC in 0.5 volt increments. Initial height sense can be done with ohmic contact or position error stall detection. Manual or full automatic height control. Auto Arc Voltage Set. Automatic preflow during IHS. Support for arc style marking torches.
